Alec Baldwin is speaking out in his first in-depth interview since the fatal shooting accident on the set of Rust, and insisting he didn't pull the trigger to fire the shot that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
"The trigger wasn't pulled. I didn't pull the trigger — I would never point a gun at someone and pull the trigger on them, never," the actor and producer tells ABC's George Stephanopoulos in a preview clip from an hourlong interview, airing Thursday. Baldwin also says he has no idea how the bullet ended up in the gun, as it "wasn't even supposed to be on the property

I think he should have waited to do this after the investigation was done.
I do think this did affect him...but the crying just looked forced. It just didn't look right I don't know. His initial reaction where he breaks down you know obviously it hit him.
I'm not sure what he means he didn't pull the trigger.
Either way there was a lot of negligence. Especially if the gun wasn't supposed to be fired. And IF it malfunctioned and he didn't pull a trigger then that should be easy to identify in the investigation.
If he was a producer in charge of hiring three prop staff and the armored, and he skimped, he needs held liable.

Regardless of guilt... bottomline it was tragic. I'm confident it will be worked out through the Courts.
